I'm doing bagels and spreads and vegi / fruit platters and desserts served in individual portions. (brownies, lemon squares, kokosh cake, banana bread, IY"H)

I went to one recently where they had a barbecue and cute iced cookies with upsherin themes.

There's always the famous tzitzis cake. I'm keeping it simple though because that's where I am right now.

Barbeque is great for anybody and everybody.
By the way, I don't know which Sephardic sect you guys are, but Syrians eat sweet foods. (sweet and sour)
